I was there, my outfit, the 135thRegt 34th Divn. Roque,(Rocky)...................
First of all Rocky, let me say "Thank you", for what you did over there.
Before starting research on my dad's unit I always thought of Normandy and the drive through France as the nastiest thing. But the more I learn of the war in Italy, the more realize how nasty and ugly things were in the Italian Campaign. From reading the book I'm getting the impression that Italy was "Tiger country" and that Italy was definitely no "soft underbelly of Europe"
